TIIJESTi A , j 13IHE 13, 1944 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE TrfREE TIfESDAY, JUNE 13~ 1944 PAGE I1~r4REE Nine Wins Conference Baseball Title in Michigan, Boilermakers Battle for TwoRun Lead Coach Fisher Calls '44 Team 'One of Best'; Wiese Ups Batting Mark, Passes Blanchard The two games with Purdue Sat- *urday, which clinched the Western Conference baseball title for the Wolverine . nine, were marked not only by victories for Michigan but also by the uncomfortably close scores which appeared on the, records as the contests progressed. In neither of the tilts were the two teams more than two runs apart at any time in the eighteen inning span of play, and in the second game, the Wolverines went into the last of the ninth with the score tied at two up. Even in this frame, not a single hit was registered by Fisher's men. The final marker was scored on a free pass, a stolen base and a two-base error on catcher Bob Stevenson's fly by the Boilermaker left fielder, Ray Murphy, which allowed first-sacker Elmer Swanson to come all the way home from second. Bowmnan Hit Freely In the first contest, which clinched the title for the Wolverines, the home nine had a much easier time of it, managing to collect four runs off Purdue hurler Ed Timm to the Boil- ermakers' two. This pair of markers, gleaned from the southpaw slants of ace Bo Bowman, were the result of a nine-hit attack on the Michigan starter. This rather free clubbing of Bowman was, with the exception of last week's first game with the Irish at South Bend, the hardest attack an opposing team has administered to Bowman all season. However, the Wolverine hurler tightened up no- ticeably in the later innings. On the other hand, hurler Elroy Hirsch pitched one of his best games of the season in the second contest. The closeness of the score was due mainly to rather poor support, a factor which seems to mark a Hirsch- pitched tilt. The big right-hander's curve was breaking more sharply than usual and he seemed to be doing some spot-pitching. Wiese Stars at Plate Bob Wiese, who replaced Bob Nussbaumer in the left-field spot, had the best day at the plate for Michigan. Wiese collected four hits YOUR HAIR STYLE is blended and shaped with your facial features and per- sonality. THE DASCOLA BARBERS Liberty off State in six times at the plate for a day's average of .667, to pull into the Wolverine batting lead for the sea- son. Wiese, whose hitting was very feeble at the beginning of the cam- paign, has developed into one of the most potent of the Michigan sluggers. After Saturday's contests, Coach Fisher called his '44 team one of his best. "It equals most past Michigan nines in the field," stated Fisher, "and is always a threat at the plate. It fails to measure up to my other squads only in its hurling." Praise -Blanchard Fisher called Bruce Blanchard, his heavy-hitting shortstop, almost as good at the plate as Bennie Ooster- baan, the all-time pick as the great- est Michigan slugger. Oosterbaan is this year's assistant baseball coach. An example of the excellent Wol- verine fielding was demonstrated Saturday, as centerfielder Don Lund made a bare-handed circus catch of Murphy's powerful drive in the fourth frame of the second tilt. Fisher has seen only one such catch in Big Ten competition, and none in the majors. Meet Broncos Meanwhile, the Wolverines are preparing 'for the games Friday and Saturday with Western Michigan at Kalamazoo. The lineup will be con- siderably juggled, as Stevenson, third baseman Mike Farnyk and second- sacker Charley Ketterer will prob- ably not be on hand for the tilts. Swanson, who caught for the var- sity last season, will be behind the plate, and Fisher will be calling his outfield up to fill in at the infield positions. Fisher may also pitch his reserve hurlers, distributing the mound assignments among Al Wil- lers, Dick Schmidtke, Jack Hack- stadt and Denny Manko. White House Upsets Chicago Lodge, 11-7 Chicago Lodge baseball team muffed an opportunity to win the Resident House Softball Champion- ship last night when they lost to the White House, 11-7. Jean Hannas pitched effectively for the White House, and was able to gain credit for the victory through several miscues by the Chicago Lodge infield. The defeat will probably mean a three-way tie for the title. -" - LOWdown on Sports . . by UD LOW Associate Sports Editor Farewell, and 30... . FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS here at the Daily, sportswriters have found that the most difficult task they were called upon to do was to bang out a so-called "last column." Most of them found that they had crammed so much into four years of college life at Michigan that they didn't know where to begin. They tried to put down in a very limited amount of space the memories that had been gathered during their stay in Ann Arbor. Realizing, as did all the rest, that it is impossible to say even an infinitely small number of things that I wish to say, I should like to dwell on that particular phase of my life here that seems to me to best typify Michigan spirit, traditions, and color. Of all the men on the Michigan coaching staff, I got to know Ken Doherty and Chester Stackhouse the best. I did not choose to write about these two men because they were necessarily any better than the others on the staff, but because they played a more important part in my particular life and because, since I did get to know them better, I feel a little better qualified to write this column about them. The record of the track teams of the last five years, three indoor Conference crowns and the same number of outloor titles, is of course a tribute to both Ken and Stack, but this tangible thing doesn't begin to tell the story. Perhaps the easiest way to introduce what I am trying to put across is illustrated by the performance of the track squad in the 1943 Big Ten meet in which the Wolverines took top honors without annexing a single first place. It was the first time in history that a Con- ference school captured the meet without taking a first place, and several facts can be directly observed from it. MOST COACHES are interested primarily in the individual stars and let the "unknowns" shift for themselves-but not so of Ken Doherty and Chet Stackhouse. Each will spend hours at a time helping some run-{ ner who may or may not prove a good investment. Sometimes theyf take the time that they should be giving to the stars of the team, for often they are the ones that pay off in the end, to help a man on the team that might not even place fifth in a Conference meet. Roth have often been blamed for this "team balance" theory on the basis that it is not what the spectators want. I can't help feeling that in helping these unknowns on the team, both Doherty and Stack- house are putting team balance secondary to what is really the principle reason for their actions-helping and coaching a man for his own sake, building better bodies, moulding character and instilling a spirit of sportsmanship in the individual. Coaching a sport for the sole purpose of turning out winning teams in order to build up the school's financial reserves or to enhance the repu- tation of the school should be pushed far in the background. Athletics should be conducted for just those purposes mentioned above. Michigan seems to have succeeded very well along this line, and Ken and Stack couldn't have done a better job. I don't think any of the fellows that have worked under Ken and Stack will. ever forget the help and encouragement each has given them. When I first went out for freshman track and told Stack that I had run only one year in high school, he was very encouraging, telling me that it didn't matter what my high school record was. I was just a third rate hurdler, but that didn't make any difference to Stack. His help was invaluable to me, and after a while even I could see a slight improvement. His improving my running ability wasn't what impressed me, however, but rather the patience he exhibited and the friendly manner in which he coached the fellows on the team. My lack of ability never warranted his spending any time with me, but Stack would always treat me just as though I was one of the fellows breaking all the records. WHEN I AGAIN WENT OUT FOR TRACK my junior year, it was the same story over again. And my case was just one of the many that befell Ken Doherty. A number of the members of the squad were only fair runners, some improved enough to pick up fourths and fifths in the Conference meet, and somne like myself were, as far as the team was con- cerned, liabilities. I doubt very much, though, that either Ken or Stack ever regret any of the time they spent with those of us that never contrib- uted points to the championships won since they have been coaching here, for their reward lies in the satisfaction tlat they have made a valuable and priceless contribution to each of the individuals they have tutored.
